G15 close up ability, please help

I am seriously thinking about buying the Panasonic LX7, due to its wider lens and macro like capability. If the G15 had similar macro like capability, it would also be in the running as my new camera. But I can't find any user comments or specs on how close and well it can focus.

Could owners of the G15 please help me out? I'm a long time Canon buyer, but really enjoy shooting close ups of flowers and insects. The difference between closeups from my S95 and my friend's LX7 is significant.
